A close-range MAHLI image acquired on Sol 905 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission reveals a dense assemblage of micro-scale geometric structures—grids, squares, circles, right-angled fragments, tubular elements, and woven textures—coexisting within a ~9 cm field of view. At the instrument’s calibrated scale (focus motor count 12 896; ~110–120 µm per pixel), these features are resolved and reproducible across raw and processed imagery. No known geological, diagenetic, sedimentary, erosional, or impact-related process on Earth or Mars can generate this simultaneous, modular, orthogonal, and multi-motif geometry at the observed scales. We therefore conclude that the Sol 905 structures are artificially fabricated micro-structures—technofossils—rather than products of natural geology.

1. Position Statement

This paper adopts a non-agnostic stance:

The MAHLI Sol 905 micro-structures are artificial.

This conclusion follows not from speculation, but from positive incompatibility between the observations and all demonstrated geological mechanisms.

The image was acquired by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) aboard NASA’s Curiosity rover on 22 Feb 2015 (Sol 905).

• Focus motor count: 12 896

• Working distance: slightly >30 cm

• Calibrated scale: ~110–120 µm/pixel

• Field of view: ~9 cm width

Processing (800% enlargement; color enhancement) does not introduce geometry; it reveals geometry already present in the raw data.

Within a single frame, the following distinct motifs co-occur:

1. Grid-like lattices with orthogonal intersections

2. Squares and circles appearing repeatedly at sub-millimeter scale

3. Right-angled fragments inconsistent with fracture randomness

4. Tubular, vessel-element-like forms (directional, elongated)

5. Woven / interlaced textures forming braided micro-fabrics

This coexistence—not any single motif—defines the anomaly.

At ~110–120 µm/px:

• Sub-millimeter objects span multiple pixels

• Major features are resolved, not noise or compression artifacts

• Geometric relationships persist across contrast states and zooms

Claims are therefore instrument-anchored, not enhancement-dependent.

Geological “boxwork” describes macroscopic fracture remnants. It does not specify a process that yields orthogonal micro-lattices with repeated squares and circles at this scale.

5.2 Concretions Are Incompatible

Concretions are radial, size-variable, and stochastic. They do not interlock into square grids, coexist with circles, or enforce right angles.

5.3 Fractures Cannot Tile

Natural fracture networks are statistically irregular. They cannot self-organize into tiled, modular cells with dimensional invariance.

5.4 Erosion Cannot Create Geometry

Erosion removes material; it does not impose order. Right angles, equal spacing, and weaving must pre-exist.

No geological paper demonstrates a pathway from any natural process to the observed multi-motif, orthogonal micro-fabric.

When natural mechanisms are eliminated, design is inferred. The Sol 905 structures exhibit classic engineering signatures:

• Modularity (repeated units)

• Orthogonality (right angles)

• Dimensional control (consistent scale)

• Hybrid geometry (squares + circles + tubes + weave)

Nature produces variation; engineering produces repetition under constraint.

These features are best explained as lithified remnants of manufactured micro-structures that were:

1. Constructed prior to burial

2. Encased and preserved within sedimentary rock

3. Later exhumed by erosion

Mars thus preserves technofossils, not mere geological curiosities.

The onus now lies with geology to demonstrate a natural analogue that reproduces all observed constraints simultaneously. Terminology without mechanism does not meet scientific standards.

The MAHLI Sol 905 image records definitive non-geological fabrication at micro-scale. The structures’ geometry, organization, and co-occurrence cannot be produced by known natural processes. Artificial origin is not speculative—it is the only explanation that fits the evidence.
